Success StoryThe Germinator



The Germinator

Author: Laykin Smith

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

For Super Star Chef camp I created a “germinator”. It was a great activity for the kids, and they were shocked with how easily germs can spread. Children attending the camp were very excited to learn about why food safety is important and to investigate their hand washing skills. This was a great visual for the camp and I look forward to sharing it with more children in the future.
